Done with windshield for good.

I recently got the QD HD windsheild. It is the compact model. I like the look of my bike without the windshield, but I have found that it helps on cold days and also makes longer rides more enjoyable. I will probably use it some, and most times not.

I finally got one for my 4k trip out west and back. Got home, took it off, and left it off.
Didn't care for the way it re-directs the wind (like up my nose)
And I still got soaked in the rain, so why bother...

Oh please! I like my detacheable. I'm not as tired at the end of a long ride, it's nice in the rain, helps in the cold and keeps bugs from knocking me off the back. Again, it's detacheable, so I do ride without it when the weather right.

I have a HD QD low profile shield...had it set up with the mini apes with very little buffetting, now with the flat track bars the buffetting is worse...must be a different riding position.
I'll use the shield for cold weather or extended highway/freeway riding, but it's a PITA to get it adjusted to minimize buffetting.
It stays off the bike at least 90% of the time.

Heated Gloves
Bob- Gerbing has a new glove out that is much smaller and less bulky than the guantlet gloves that I got. I bought mine in the winter when riding was hard to do. The sales person warned me that the less bulky gloved was the way to go but I wanted to make sure my hands stayed warm...Lesson learned.
